+The '''CHAR format''' defines an animation character; together with [[SAND (File Format)|SAND]], it serves as the successor to the [[ANCS (File Format)|ANCS format]] from Prime 1 and 2, and contains much of the same data. The main difference from ANCS is that the file no longer contains multiple characters; instead, every character gets its own CHAR file, and any animation data shared with other characters is stored in SAND.
-{{research|major|This format hasn't been researched/documented very well yet, but it appears to be extremely similar to ANCS.}}
